5 years ago those backs would have cost you many more hundreds of dollars
and THEN you'd have to kick in another hundred each to have them CLA'd.
Now we can get them for a song but that CLA is still there.
You let a back sit. It goes out. But they go out if you look at them funny.
The smart thing is probably to get the manual as I plan to do and learn to
calibrate them yourself. Someday.
As the backs are the main maintenance with the system.
And you also need a chiropractor for when your own back goes out carrying
that Hassy system with all the backs and the prisms and the lenses.
But there's a manual for that too!
